Article "Secret Letter of Mr. Durnovo to Pobedonostsev," published in the newspaper *Vorwärts* on September 15, 1895.

Suggestions concerning the possible collaboration of V. I. Lenin in the newspaper *Vorwärts* in 1895 have been repeatedly expressed in Soviet publications (see journal *Militant Materialist*, 1925, book 4, pp. 208, 213; *Chronicles of Marxism*, 1926, No. 1, pp. 87–89).

"Secret Letter of Mr. Durnovo to Pobedonostsev" is close in content to the article "What Our Ministers Are Thinking About," published in the present volume (see pp. 75–80). The quotations in both articles coincide. Moreover, the article from *Vorwärts* touches upon the question of the legalization of the activity of Russian Social Democrats, which is revealed in greater detail by V. I. Lenin in the article "An Urgent Question" (*Works*, 4th ed., vol. 4, pp. 201–206).

The Institute of Marxism-Leninism under the Central Committee of the CPSU does not have other more substantial arguments confirming the authorship of the article by V. I. Lenin, inasmuch as the archive of the newspaper *Vorwärts* is absent.
